Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons

There are four jewels to find. In a regular, unlinked, (not secrets game), the four jewels are in the following locations:

Go in front of Dancing Dragons Den (level 4). In the upper right-hand corner, dive into the water and enter a secret cave. The jewel is at the end of the cave. You need a slingshot and Mystery and Ember Seeds. Go below Hero's Cave. Use the Slingshot to light the torch. Go on the bridge and shoot a Mystery Seed at the question mark. Kill the Ferret-looking thing and get the jewel. Get the first five Essences. There is a place in Holodrom Plain that will give you a jewel if you have the five Essences. The place is several screens south of where you find Ricky. Go to the stump in front of Poison Moth's Lair. Change the season to Winter. Go to the screen below and to the right of where the Heart Piece is located. The jewel should be inside the cave.

The Maku Tree slowly develops as you proceed through the game. It will change after each essence. The first makes it slightly bigger. The second makes it take half the screen and have a doorway. The third opens a stairway in the back of inside that leads to a doorway outside of the tree (second floor) -- it contains a Gasha Seed. The fourth makes the second floor have a room, but nothing really in it except for water in the corners and center and two bushes. The fifth puts some vines on the second floor walkway outside leading to the third floor. It is just a one space spot now. The sixth opens a walkway on the third floor, but no door. The seventh seems to have no effect. The eighth opens a doorway on the third floor. Inside, it is just like the second floor, only there are three bushes instead of two.

Go to the Lost Woods, change the season to Winter, then go left. Change the season to Fall, then go left. Change the season to Spring, then go left. Change the season to Summer, then go left. You should find the Noble Sword. When you have full hearts, you can shoot energy beams from the sword.

The passwords that are revealed when the game is completed are not valid for other players. Each game has its own specific password for the ending from people. It all depends on your name, what you do with Bipin and Blossom, and other things such as Gasha seeds, rings and your lives lost. The password is used for a link game to The Legend Of Zelda: Oracle Of Ages. Passwords you get in Legend Of Zelda: Oracle Of Ages are already in Legend Of Zelda: Oracle Of Seasons, but only in the games memory of when you completed the game. If you take a password from a completely different link game and enter it, it will not be valid. Otherwise, take passwords from Legend Of Zelda: Oracle Of Ages and put them in Legend Of Zelda: Oracle Of Seasons to get the Master Sword or Biggoron's Sword.

Get a Member's Card. Go to the Horon shop and continue to the rear. Buy all items from upstairs. You will go broke after buying all of them. If you have almost no more money, go to the snake's remains and destroy the wall where the arrow blocks are pointing. You should get about 200 to 300 rupees. When you have bought all items upstairs in the Horon shop, they will have a new item (two chests). Talk to the manager from upstairs, then pay him 10 rupees (per try).You have to get five tries with 100 rupees in the chest . However, you will not win 100 rupees. After you have won five of the correct chests, you will get a Peace Ring It allows you to take no damage from bombs that are in hands.

Press Start + Select during game play to go directly to the save screen.

Go east from the Gnarled Root dungeon and change the season to Summer Go south from Gnarled Root dungeon to find a stairway. Go down and a man will give you a Red Ring if you do what he says. A Red Ring doubles your sword damage without making enemies stronger. He wants you to slay 4 golden creatures. They are found at the following locations. The Soldier is east of Heroes Cave in Spring. The Octorok is south of the warp in Spool Swamp in Summer. The Moblin is near the entrance to Snakes Remains in Fall. The Wolf is in the Ancient Ruins in Winter (where there usually are two Red Soldiers and three Hard Mushrooms).

Note: This trick requires Legend Of Zelda: Oracle Of Ages. Go to Vasu's Jewelry Store and ask the red snake (to the right of Vasu) the secret. Make a note of the secret. Play Legend Of Zelda: Oracle Of Ages and choose "Say Secret" to the red snake (to the right of Vasu) and select "OK". He will say that he transferred the rings. Talk to him again and choose "Say Secret" again. The password you just entered will still be there. Change the last two or three characters or the secret and it might be another secret, giving you more rings. If the game replies that it is wrong, change them again and repeat.

Once you have the Switch Hook, go to the Post Office in the past. Use the Switch Hook on any of the three filing cabinets and the screen will reset.

If you're lucky enough to already own a Game Boy Advance (like many of the obsessed editors here at IGN), you can get into the Secret 100 Rupee Advance Shop in Oracle of Seasons. Simply plug this Game Boy game into your GBA and go to the house with the two doors in the village (shown below, left screenshot). On the GBC, the right door will be locked. On the GBA, you can march right in. The shopkeeper will welcome you and explain how only GBA players can access this store -- and as a special service, you can buy items here for 100 Rupees each. While some of the items are available elsewhere, you can also get a special Ring that's only availabe to GBA owners.
